This week’s/today’s botch job from the Mail is courtesy of Sami Mokbel who’s “I Want English Blood” headline as been revealed for what it was.
A daft punt, not based upon any evidence. A piece padded out with endless stock photos, and some generic blurb about the Y word kerfuffle.
Spurs beat West Ham 0-3 at Upton Caravan Park, in today’s friendly game. After which, the boss said:
With players of this quality coming back to fitness it reinforces the fact that we have strength and depth in the squad. And players with real quality and ability. That’s what I look for.
I see reports saying I want this and that, that I want British or I want youth, that’s not accurate – what I want is technically good players and we have that in abundance throughout the dressing room.”
Given the success so far, the return of Kaboul, Paulinho, Sandro and Jan should give even someone as routinely grumpy as me, grounds for optimism.
